The fire was no longer as prosperous as it was when it was first lit, only a

    cluster of small and small flames throbbing tremblingly, reflecting everyone''s

    obscure look.The guards unanimously moved closer to me, and the group of people in black

    gradually tightened the encirclement-just hearing the "beep" sound of the

    sawdust bursting, as if the horn of battle was sounded, and both sides

    launched an attack at the same time.Jiang Zhuo used a scabbard to slap open the still burning fire, and the debris

    filled the sky, immediately fascinated by the eyes of the man in black, and

    forced the head of the group to retreat again and again; taking advantage of

    this, she pulled me up to the ruined temple The door ran away, and other

    guards also covered us to evacuate quickly.I saw with my own eyes a guard chopped over a man in black, and was wiped his

    neck by his accomplices. A strong smell of blood permeated under the night

    sky, and taught me to wake up my still-unclear consciousness steeply-if there

    were no such people to protect me, then the dead person would be me.Under the extreme fear, the human potential was infinitely magnified. Under

    Jiang Zhuo''s drive, I quickly followed her through the circle of men in black

    and climbed into the carriage; Jiang Zhuo did not get into the carriage with

    me Inside, he picked up his riding whip and drew the horse''s hip fiercely.Hearing a neigh of the docile red fox horse, it immediately shot out like an

    arrow from the string; the carriage shook, and I almost fell out of the

    carriage.However, knowing that Jiang Zhuo was not by my side at this moment, and no one

    held me firmly in his arms to prevent me from stumbling, but I quickly

    reacted, supporting the wall of the car with my hands and stabilizing my

    body—in my heart. Yian: Sometimes people forced by the environment have to be

    strong.Horseshoe stepping on the still damp and muddy road, the sound is sticky and

    procrastinated. It is very annoying in the night when everything is still

    unrecovered; and for people who are on the run, this sound is a signal that

    attracts trackers. No matter how far you go, this movement will not disappear,

    and the man in black can quickly lock onto the target, and stay behind, unable

    to get rid of it.When I was anxious, I only felt that the curtain was pulled open, and Jiang

    Zhuo''s voice with a slight panting came into my ears, no longer indifferent,

    but more exciting: "Your Majesty, the carriage goal is too big, it''s better to

    ride a horse." , While pulling me out of the wagon.As soon as I stood under the car, I saw the two guards who were riding horses

    jumped off their horses, got into the carriage one after the other, and left

    the car in the other direction.——It was originally a plan to adjust the tiger away from the mountain.Is it to confuse the audience and distract chasing soldiers?But if they are chased, what will happen to them as bait... I don''t want to

    think about it."His Royal Highness, please get on the horse." Jiang Zhuo hurriedly urged

    while pulling the rein in one hand, controlling the horse that was anxious

    because the owner had dropped it.I looked at the dark horse that was planing its hoof impatiently, and the

    other guards riding on it, and swallowed hard.I gathered my courage to step forward and was preparing to climb up the horse

    with his hands and feet, but saw Jiang Zhuo suddenly urging the horse under

    him to get a few steps closer to my side, and then picked up my waist with

    both hands, lifted me up, and sat down. In front of her.——Oh, did she see that I can''t ride a horse anymore?Feeling that I was dragging my hind legs, I felt dejectedly and touched the

    horse that shook because of the weight of two people. I hated that I didn''t

    exercise riding skills in my spare time.If there is a chance, I must learn how to ride a horse... However, I have to

    wait for me to pass the catastrophe before my eyes.This opportunity, I''m afraid it is very slim.I heard the unowned black horse hiss sternly, raised its hoof suddenly, and

    rushed madly in one direction; I was taken aback, and faintly saw speckled

    spots behind it. Blood stains.Jiang Zhuo casually retracted the dagger in his hand, winked at the other

    guards, pulled the reins, and rushed out."Your Majesty, hold on tight." She urged in my ear quickly, and then focused

    on the horse control; she embraced her hands around her waist, and her back

    pressed against her heartbeat, even if the future was uncertain. While

    fleeing, it taught me to feel appropriate and at ease-no matter what, as long

    as she is by my side, it won''t hurt me... I firmly believe this.Running with trepidation, from the darkness of the night to the light of the

    sky, it is a great test for people and horses, and it can even be said to be

    torture.Fortunately, Yan Ke prepared for my trip with great care. Even the horses that

    the guards rode are rare horses, which can take us so far. Although my body is

    thin, it is also a weight. With two people and maintaining a super-high-speed

    Mercedes-Benz, it could not last long, and it is not easy to be able to

    persist until now.Even if you don''t know how to equestrian, like me, you can feel that the speed

    of this horse is declining significantly, and it will probably be its limit

    soon.Enduring the bumps as if all the internal organs were shifting, I used all my

    willpower to straighten my waist, not letting myself lean on both sides of

    Jiang Zhuo''s circled arms, which made it more difficult for her to control the

    horse-but before my eyes It began to blur.I was in a trance, but I heard a guard happily say: "It''s Siyang City!"In order to get to Baiyun Valley outside Rongxi City as soon as possible, the

    motorcade abandoned the official road with more traffic, took a shortcut, went

    straight to Siyang, and then entered Rongxi via Zechang. It only took five

    days to get there. Baiyun Valley.I encountered an ambush on the private road outside Guanlan City, and ran all

    night without repair, but arrived at Siyang earlier than the scheduled time.The horse slowed down, and the city wall of Siyang City was close at hand. I

    could hear Jiang Zhuo''s breathing gradually, and his tight nerves seemed to

    relax a bit. As long as they entered the city, those chasing soldiers could

    not be so blatant. Acting, our safety will be an extra layer of guarantee.There are eight people left in our line. Although we have never worn the

    official guard uniform of the palace, the fresh-clothed angry horse is still

    dazzling; driving overnight is embarrassing, and entering the city like this

    will definitely arouse people''s suspicion.So everyone divided into several groups into the city one by one, and met in

    the largest inn in the city.After booking a room and changing into clean clothes, I felt a trace of

    unreality of escaping from the dead.We were so hungry, Jiang Zhuo and I asked for the private room on the second

    floor of the inn, and we were eating while waiting for the other guards to

    come and meet.It’s still early days, and the city gate has just opened. There are not many

    vendors who come out to do business. Most of them sell early meals. They are

    more delicate and delicious than the less serious restaurants. I just took a

    few glances and threw myself on the table. In the early morning, Jiang Zhuo is

    more aristocratic and courteous than my prince. He chewed slowly and ate

    leisurely. He glanced out the window from time to time to see if he had a

    familiar face.After a while, when I was full of food, a rhythmic knock on the door sounded —

    three long and two short, which was a signal that had been agreed upon.He raised his voice to let in, and didn''t pay much attention to etiquette, and

    pointed to the snack on the table to signal the first guards to start.Several people sat down flattered, seemingly wanting to shirk, they were swept

    away by Jiang Zhuo''s cold eyes, and because they were indeed hungry in their

    abdomen, they stopped being hypocritical, each holding their bowls and

    chopsticks, and ate happily.Compared with the food they don''t care about, but they seem to be just me, it

    is considered gentle.After waiting for about half an hour, eight people finally gathered in this

    small private room-the bustling team at the time of departure, and now there

    are fewer than a dozen people with me.Maybe even count the hidden guards hidden in the dark... but even I don''t know

    how much is left of the so-called hidden guards arranged by Yan Ke who will

    not show up in the critical moment.I picked up the tea cup and took a sip, hiding the bitter smile on my lips,

    but listening to the sound of a rocky gong downstairs, I accidentally knocked

    over the tea cup, and my clothes got wet.Embarrassingly put down the empty tea cup that I had barely received, I

    thought of getting up and shaking the tea. When I saw Jiang Zhuo''s mouth rise

    slightly, I was even more annoyed in my heart, and quickly turned my back to

    her.As far as I could see, a team of officers pressed one person downstairs; the

    first officer carried a gong in his hand, and the movement that scared me just

    came from her hand.The prisoner being escorted was wearing a tattered white prison uniform. The

    coarse cloth vamp had been worn out to expose his toes, and his hands and feet

    were handcuffed with thick chains of thumbs. It was inconvenient to walk. The

    guard behind her was always inconvenient when she slowed down. She gave a

    pitiful push, forcing her to stagger, describing it as miserable-she didn''t

    know what serious crime she had committed, but she seemed to be exiled to the

    wild.I was about to take my gaze back, and listened to someone beside me leaning on

    the railing excitedly, muttering incredulously: "Sister, it''s my sister! No,

    it''s impossible! How could sister..."Jiang Zhuo suddenly got up and closed the window of the room, staring at the

    red-eyed guard and asked in a deep voice: "Bing Liu, can you see clearly? That

    escorted person is indeed your sister?""Subordinates are sure." The guard called Bingliu nodded sadly, seeming to be

    unable to support it, and fell back on the stool, still having difficulty

    facing reality.——If I remember correctly, isn’t this Bingliu’s sister, the Xiangwei prefect?According to how long I have left, she has actually fallen to the point of

    being dismissed and exiled!Excluding Xiangwei''s trekking to Siyang, I am afraid that she would have been

    sent off before I left Guanlan.On the face of it, this Xiangwei prefect is considered to be an official of my

    Lingwang Mansion. Not to mention what she has committed, she knocked her off

    the horse without my approval. Isn''t it just cutting off my gangsters and

    hitting me in the face? Is it?First I was poisoned by Lidu, and then I took the opportunity to suppress my

    faction, and there were ambushes waiting to take my life on the road... If

    there is no connection between these piles, I don''t believe it.But, is this series of events really set by the woman on the throne?Just thinking like this, my heart hurts.If it is finally confirmed that this is the case, how should I deal with

    myself?"Bing Liu, let''s go," I took two silver tickets that Yan Ke had given before

    leaving, and handed them to her, waved with a sense of excitement, "The

    suffering of exile is hard for ordinary people to endure. If you have no

    family to protect you. , Your sister is afraid that she will die in nine

    deaths.""His Royal Highness! It''s your subordinate''s duty to ** you!" Bingliu

    lowered his head and took a half step back, but his hands were clenched into

    fists on his side, showing the deepest struggle in my heart."The king ordered you to ** her all the way, not to teach her to have an

    accident on the road," I just stuffed the banknote into her hand, and I calmed

    down, pretending to be unhappy, "Why, don''t you have to resist your orders?""His Majesty, my subordinates have nothing to pay for it! In the next life you

    will be a cow and a horse for your Highness to send!" She knelt on the ground,

    "Boom Boom Boom" and choked with three heads-I can''t stop it, I can only She

    received her gift for life.Waved her hand and motioned her to go quickly.After a while, I opened the window and silently watched her galloping away on

    a horse-the sisters’ affection is so enviable."His Royal Highness, why do you want to drive Bing Liu away?" In silence,

    Jiang Zhuo walked to me and followed my gaze into the distance."Probably because... I can''t get it, so I especially want to perfect others."

    I retracted my gaze and replied indifferently-even at such a critical moment,

    how much it would be to send the remaining support away from my side. Stupid

    behavior.He returned to the room in a daze, leaning on the bed, feeling relieved, and

    the nausea that had been suppressed before resurfaced.The whole night was bumpy, and the mood suddenly rose and fell, and my weak

    body couldn''t withstand such a toss--it was the day when I had a high fever.
